AI Summary
This bill, known as the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, prohibits the preparation, manufacture, sale, or distribution of unsafe kratom products and the sale or distribution of kratom products to individuals younger than 21 years of age. It defines key terms like "kratom product" and "processor," and outlines the duties of the Department of Health in enforcing the provisions of the act. The bill also imposes penalties, including administrative fines, on processors or retailers who violate the law, and provides a defense for retailers who acted in good faith reliance on a processor's assurance that a kratom product is not in violation.
